“He accused me of always defending Clinton”

Slowly, the madness that was the 2008 primaries is unraveling to koolaid hangover ridden participants. Suddenly, things that we were screaming then are allowed in print. Like this from the B0bots

B0bots: “When Obama praised Reagan we thought he was just BS-ing”

Now, the reality check comes from the bowels of the media source that most distorted reality, making an unchanged Fox seem reasonable by comparison: MSNBC.

I don’t know what made Craig Crawford resign now. But he considers that now it can be told -how the manufacturing of the reality was maddening to him at the time. He first commented on a blog

i have never and never will forgive Chris for calling me a racist after the West Virginia primary (the last time I will ever go on air with him). Probably should have resigned then and there, but better late than never.”

As far as Chris is concerned, on Morning Joe after the West Virginia primary he accused me of always defending Clinton and what he claimed to be her racially motivated campaigning. That’s the problem. Trying to be fair became seen as bias in the new thinking over there.

He put it well. The media (MSNBC and everything else) has tried and executed Hillary as evil racist bitch from the very start. Sorta like Osama Bin Laden – only much worse, because she was also a woman and her last name was Clinton.

This was the premise of all commentary during primaries. “Us vs them”

Supporting Hillary was making you one of those enemies – forever. You were automatically a racist – and worse. There was never an amnesty for that crime, BTW, even if the badmouthing of Hillary had to reluctantly end (sorry, Dana Millbank).

But Craig Crawford was hardly a Hillary supporter. My guess – from his comment about the “lefty games” I take it his personal inclinations go more towards the GOP. But I do remember him as the more level headed pundit there, the one that was – occasionally – trying to inject some common sense in the hyperbole that was their campaigning for Obama. And in those dark times of “you’re either with us or a filthy racist that should die”, this was enough.

The hysteria at MSNBC, the rest of the media and B0bot quarter was such, that the mere “Woa! Slow down a little” from one was deemed high treason.

I think it bears keeping in mind – especially as a response to the sweeping revisionism from the other side “Both sides did it” It was never “both sides” – as this thing was one sided from the very start.

Heh, heh – I guess they wanted to know where he was coming from. Also, Obama/lefty – from today’s perspective is a pretty absurd association for any thinking person. So, I think he should have just said what he was really thinking: “campaigning for Obama”

It was so totally one-sided, & the bias was so blatant because the fix was in before the primaries even started. And we weren’t supposed to notice! That’s why the media immediately gas-lighted anyone who had the audacity to complain!

That was the worst part. It wasn’t until SNL satirized the debates that anyone was ever allowed to acknowledge it. Olbermann, Tweety, Cafferty, Roland Martin, Tim Russert, Mike Barnacle, Carl Bernstein, the whole lot of them…so angy; so dishonest; so full of shit.
